When an application requests data from the database, one or more domains are first identified in the SQL query. A determination is then made as to whether operators for each domain pair in the SQL query are authorized. A determination is also made as to whether functions in the SQL authorized. If the operators and functions in the SQL are authorized, the initial SQL request is rewritten to include a casting formula for each domain pair operation. The rewritten SQL request is then executed. | 12-11-2008 |
20090019377 | Method to Enable Selection of Segments in an Instant Messaging Application for Integration in Other Applications - A Segment Interface Program (SIP) is disclosed that enables a user to choose locations in other applications to receive segments, and to mark segments for manual or automatic transmission to those applications. The SIP comprises an Application Interface Program (AIP), a Segment Creator Program (SCP), a Segment Queue Program (SQP), and a Segment Delivery Program (SDP). The SIP accesses a Rules database, a codes database, and a queue database. The AIP enables a user to select a location in an application and assign an application code and a location code to the location. The SCP enables a user to select a segment in a chat transcript, assign an application code and a location code to the segment, and send the segment to the SQP. The SQP receives the segment, assigns a queue number, and places the segment in a queue table. The SDP reads the user code, the application code and, when the application is active, sends the segment to the location in the application with the corresponding code. A single segment may be inserted into an application in multiple locations by creating additional codes for multiple instances of a location. | 01-15-2009 |
20090030984 | System and Method for Automatically Segmenting Content from an Instant Messaging Transcript and Applying Commands Contained Within the Content Segments - A system and method for automatically segmenting content from an instant messaging transcript and applying commands contained within the content segments is disclosed. The system includes a segment finding program, a command fording program, and a command list. The segment finding program identifies topic shifts in the IM conversation. The command finding program searches the identified topic segments for commands. Upon finding a command, the command finding program locates an appropriate action within the command list and executes it after obtaining user permission if so specified. The system works in conjunction with an IM program having functions to allow each user to control the segment finding and command finding programs. | 01-29-2009 |

20090157691 | Method for Unified Collection of Content Analytic Data - A method for storing a user evaluation of distributed content comprising an Evaluation Program (EP) that creates a user session when a user accesses distributed content. The user evaluation is saved with other information such as the time and date of the evaluation, the user's personal information, and the navigation path the user used to access the distributed content page. The EP records the user's navigation of the distributed content in the user session. The EP gives the user the opportunity to rate distributed content. The EP saves the user's evaluation with the user session data and external stimuli data. The EP closes the user session when the user leaves the distributed content. The EP reopens the user session when the user returns to the distributed content. | 06-18-2009 |
20100017481 | System and Method for Sectional E-Mail Transmission - A process of segmenting a single email so that portions of it may be directed to or away from select recipients is disclosed. The sender highlights portions of the email and right clicks (or key command, button, or menu item) and selects an option to select recipients. The operator interface then provides the sender with the option of selecting recipients from their address book or the server's address book. To speed the process along, the sender may select those already on the To, Cc, or Bcc distribution lists. The sender then selects whether those chosen will receive the highlighted portion or if they will be excluded from receiving it. Lastly, the sender will have the option of providing text that is unique to each of the selected groups. | 01-21-2010 |

20080247631 | Painting process color compensator - A method and implementing computer system are provided for enabling a user to paint a surface a desired final color while using a paint, the color of which appears in raw form different from the desired final color for the painted surface. In an exemplary embodiment, a tile painting application is illustrated and includes a camera arranged to take an image of a bisque tile. When a user applies a glaze to the tile, the camera-computer system analyzes the glaze color among other factors affecting the painting process and an image showing a final color of the tile after firing is presented on the display of the computer system such that by looking at the computer screen, the user is able to see the actual final color of the tile after firing while applying the initial glaze to the bisque tile before firing. | 10-09-2008 |
20080249748 | Painting process color analysis - A method and implementing computer system are provided for enabling a user to determine a starting glaze color for fired tiles in processes where there is a color change from a starting glaze color to a finished or fired tile color. In an exemplary embodiment, a tile painting application is illustrated and includes a camera arranged to take an image of a fired or finished tile that has been painted, glazed and fired in a tile kiln. The color of the fired tile is determined from the image or picture of the fired tile, and a color change database is accessed to determine the starting or bisque color glaze. Related painting process information, including the pre-firing glaze color, the fired glaze color and other tile firing parameters, is accessed from the database and is selectively displayed to a user. The user is then enabled to reproduce the fired tile using the retrieved bisque glaze color and the firing parameters. In another embodiment, a fired tile is divided into smaller segments for analysis. Each segment is analyzed and the fired color for each segment is determined and used in retrieving the starting glaze color and firing parameters for each segment of the tile. The user is thereby enabled to reproduce the fired tile on a segment-by-segment basis. | 10-09-2008 |
20080270916 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY INITIATING AN INSTANT MESSAGING CHAT SESSION BASED ON A CALENDAR ENTRY - A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for automatically initiating an instant messaging (IM) chat session based on a calendar entry. A user's IM client receives instructions to initiate an IM chat session based on a scheduled entry in the calendaring system. These instructions may be received from the user's calendaring system or a continuously running service, such as a daemon, independent of the IM client. Upon receiving the instructions, the IM client may optionally alert the user to the impending chat session. The IM client then presents a chat window for the instant messaging chat session to the user at a time specified in the scheduled entry. Data associated with the scheduled entry in the calendaring system, such as notes or attachments related to the chat session, may also be displayed in the chat window. | 10-30-2008 |
